Copy files from Team SharePoint site to separate SharePoint site

[drishm13]

Hi,

I am trying to find out if this is possible or should it even be done or an easier way.

We have a user with a Team Channel where they upload docs for a specific project but those docs also need to be uploaded to another SharePoint site. They then need to move the docs manually.

Would a flow work to copy to the docs over whenever they are created? Would it work coming from a Teams SharePoint site to a non Teams SharePoint site?

Or is there a way to change the location where docs are saved on the Team Channel itself?

Thank you.

@drishm13 You can use power automate flow for this scenario:

Configure your flow like below: 

You can use the flow trigger as per your requirements. Check documentation: connectors - SharePoint online

Hi @ganeshsanap ,

This worked - thank you so much.

I just wanted to find out though -  when the file is created in the new site, is there a way to bring over the person who originally uploaded the file? It seems to be bringing over the name of the person associated with the flow?

@drishm13 You can update the created by and modified by column values using SharePoint REST API and Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action:

Sample flow:
